Hole in the Wall
1A St Martins Street, Chichester PO19 1NP
Though Greene King are the owners, this is NOT a Greene King pub. It is leased to and operated by Big Smoke Brewing Company of Esher, so one of the best pubs in the city for real ale choice. Two of the real ales are normally their own. The building is believed to have started life in the C18th as a debtors prison, but this is an old pub, once of two bars but knocked through so the bar wraps round from the front to the back via a smaller side room. The interior features brick pillars and half height painted wood panelling, The large space is sufficiently split up to create a cosy, friendly atmosphere. There are 12 hand pumps on the L-shaped bar, eight for real ale, and four for real cider. The twenty keg beers are listed on a blackboard above the bar. Both keg and cask offerings include Big Smoke's own beers as well as others sourced nationally. Food is good too. Unobtrusive background music is from Vinyl only. Quiz nights on Sundays. A good food selection from snacks to full meals is available all day from Noon until 9.30.

12 Westgate, Chichester PO19 3EU
** Reopening under new name of Crate & Apple on July 1st 2015 so all details may no longer be applicable *** A modern take on a traditional pub and generally food led with attractive wooden furniture and decor.
